27th Post "THE PAST IS MYSELF"













When Mr. Calvin LeHew purchased the old stove factory, which later became known as "The Factory at Franklin", and is now on the National Register of Historic Places, one of Mr. LeHew's requests was to allow the old water tank to be preserved and stay on the property as a "calling card" for "The Factory at Franklin". Today the old water tank is definitely a calling card and it is also a landmark. I have photographed the water tank during all seasons and in all lighting conditions. Above are a sampling of photographs of the water tank. Two of the photgraphs are enhanced using "Adobe Photoshop". One is the "crackled" artlike photo and the other is the "red mood" coming out eclipse above the factory.
The Red moon photo was a photo I captured at another place at another time and with a different camera. I found the old photo in a box of old pictures and utilizing my scanner, superimposed the old freshly eclipsed moon over the existing moon in the photograph. I thought this made a most interesting photo of the factory's water tank.
